great thread this.. just re afirms my long held belief that no modern (post 80,s wheel design ) comes close to those made in the 60,s or 70,s.....the styles and designs and for that matter copies are crap compared to those avail 35+ years ago.... foxy52

I don't agree, the quality of most modern wheels, be they copies of 1960's designs or whatever are far superior to most of the wheels made in period - just look at that set of mystery rosepetals that someone posted up here the other week that looked like they where porus they had so many air holes in them! - you just wouldn't be able to get away with selling wheels of that dubious quality now a days, that's for sure!

id also argue that the minispares minilife design wheels stand up as a classic wheel - they have been available for 15 plus years and many cars are fitted with them! I would go as far to say that they are a perfect wheel, the flat edge rim design and the shape of the spokes is far prettier (and more period looking) than the modern minilight wheels.

I think its great that such a great range of wheels are avaible now - it certainly gives people the option of been a bit different
